Every detail—from articulation to pacing to emotional nuance—builds toward an unforgettable experience. Honored to perform the full opera for the first time with these incredible musicians—avec ma famille Philadelphie. ❤️ | Yannick Nezet-Seguin | Facebook

Rehearsing the Holztrompete solo with Associate Principal Trumpet Jeffrey Curnow was a particularly joyful moment: just one example of the enthusiasm and spirit this orchestra brings to the piece! | Yannick Nezet-Seguin | Facebook
